A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.

HONINGJVIACHINE.

Application filed January 9, 1913i Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 2, .1.914. ser-iai No. 740,907.

.To alt whom 'it may concern Be it known that l, JOHN Karn'rAN, a citizen olf the United Statt-is of America, residing at New York, in the county olf New York and State ol New vYork, have invented certain new and usefulv improvements in Honing-Madrinos, oit' which the following is n sjiecilication.

The present invention relates to honing` machines for razors or the like having concaved surfaces and has lior its object to provide .means for holding the razor with its concavcd surface against the honing stone so that the honing or sharpening thereof can be elii'ectively and rapidi..r accomplished.

To make my invention more clear the same is illustrated in the accompanying drawing :in which similar retcrence letters denote corresponding parts and in which- Figure l is a vertical section through the machine, Fig. 2 is a top plan view and Fig. 3 is a detail. l

In the drawings a denotes the base plate on which is secured a post ZJ and the bearings c in which the spindle Z is borne to which is fixed the hone stone e. The honestone may be driven by hand from a hand wheel j' through the medium of a belt g or in any other suitable manner. Secured to the bearings c and extending longitudinally over the circumference ot the hone-stone is a bent wire /i or the like which serves as a rest for the back of the razor r, knife or the like when placed on the hone-stone.

Secured to a vertical rod ci is a fork shaped bracket y' in which a rod 171: is rotatively borne. lflccentrically mounted on this rod are two lateral clamping cylinders 7c which are connected by a rod Z mounted. .in said clamping cylinders. Projecting forwardly from the rod z' is horizontal arm m which is formed with a tubular downwardly eX- l'ending projection or sleeve fm in which is movably mounted a rod a, the lower end oit which is formed to a head n. connected to the intermediate portion oi' the rod l and the upper end of which is screw threaded and bears a nut o. A spring n2 pressing against the head n is adapt-ed to press the clan'iping cylinders 'c against the razor r or the like. By working the nut 0 up or down the tension of the spring a2 can be regulated.

The vertical rod t' is movably supported in a sleeve p and is actuated by a spring 2J which constantly presses it downwardly. Projecting laterally trom said rod through a vertical recess p2 in the sleeve is a pin a" with which cooperates a cam shaped arm 723 .pivoted to the sleeve p. By swinging this arm p3 trom its normal vertical position, its earn portion engages said pin and lifts the rod v and consequently the rollers c c.

To allow of razors or the like of various thicknesses being honed on this machine, the sleeve j), too, is adjustable in vertical direction. To this end this sleeve is adjustably mounted in a tubular part Q of a hollow horizontal arm Q" and is provided on its upper end ([2 with a screw thread on which works a .nut Qi". By .means o t a .set screw g the sleeve p :is held in its adjusted position.

The arm g is adjustably mounted in an elbow shaped tube s and can be adjusted in longitudinal direction by means of a headed screw f; working in the threaded hollow g5 of the arm y. This horizontal. adjustment of the arm serves the purpose to allow of the rollers 7;: y being brought nearer to or farther from the rest according` as the width of the razor or the like requires. The elbow tube s is adjustably mounted on the post o oi the machine. l

The lower part oit' the hone-stone is inclosed by a horizontally movable case 'u which in front has fixed to it a stone o serving to remove a superfluous quantity of lu bricanlV from the hone-stone during rotation oill the latter and to constantly even up the hone-stone.

That l claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. ln a honingl machine for razors having concaved surfaces, the combination with a revoluble honing stone, of a vertically adjustable eccentrically supported clamping cylinder and means for pressing said clamping cylinder to y*ard said stone so as to clamp the razor between said clamping cylinder and the honing stone.

2. ln a honing machine for razors having concaved surfaces, the combination with a revoluble honing stone, means extending longitudinally over the said stone and serving as a rest :for Vthe back oil the razor, a Vertically adjustable eccentrically supported.

clamping cylinder and means for pressing l the razor between itself and the honing stone said clamping cylinder toward said stone, so as to clamp the razor between the clamping cylinder and the honing stone.

3. In a honing machine for razors having concaved surfaces, the combination with a revoluble honing stone, a vertically adjustable bracket, a clamping cylinder eccentrically supported from said bracket and means for pressing said clamping cylinder toward the honing stone so as to clamp the razor between said clamping cylinder and the said stone.

4. In a honing machine for razors having concaved surfaces, the combination WithI a revoluble honing stone, a vertically and horizontally adjustable and eccentrically supported clamping cylinder adapted to engage and means for pressing said clamping cylinder so as to clamp the razor in position.

5. In a honing machine for razors or the like having concaved surfaces, the combination with a revoluble honing stone, a vertically and horizontally adjustable bracket7 a clamping cylinder eccentrically supported from said bracket and adapted to engage the razor between itself and the stone and a spring actuated means for pressing said clamping cylinder into clamping position.

ln testimony whereof I aix my signature in presence of tWo Witnesses.
